Wipe that drool off the keyboard

The new G5 iMacs came out today. Pretty. Me want.

I'm wrestling with the idea of whether it would be worth laying out a wad of cash for one. It would be a significant upgrade from my 14" G3 800MHz iBook that's still missing the 3 key.

One complaint: it would be nice if the new iMacs came with more than 256MB of RAM as the standard. Just set the standard at 512 and charge $150 more for the thing. Although I have to admit that I wouldn't even consider a new iMac if the price point wasn't so reasonable. $1300 for the base model is one hell of a deal.

I really can't afford it right now, but that's what credit cards and Apple Loans are for, right?
